    Fun Fact of the Week 10 Winter Fitness Activities for the Whole Family* It's time to play outside! Bundle up for these winter-only activities to torch calories and have a little fun. Baby, it’s cold outside! But don’t let the deep freeze discourage you from getting outside and getting active. If you dress properly - in layers, taking care to protect your hands, feet, and ears - and if you choose fitness activities that are fun, you and your family can actually look forward to working out in winter, says Alice Burron, MS, a member of the Wyoming Governor’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports, an American Council on Exercise spokeswoman, and author of Four Weeks to Fabulous. “Winter activities, particularly when there’s snow on the ground, are good for strengthening ‘balance’ muscles because of the uneven, slick surface,” Burron says. “What a great way to get your core muscles - the key to stabilizing your entire body - in shape for the spring.” And, underneath all those layers, you can burn some serious calories. Below are 10 fun winter fitness activities for you and your family to choose from, and the calories you can burn, based on a 150-pound person and Everyday Health’s My Calorie Counter. Sledding Head to your local sledding hill (provided there’s snow) for a fun, aerobic workout. Sledding requires you to use multiple muscle groups to steer as you speed down hills. You also exert effort while walking with your sled back up the hill, so you can go down again.
